In the presence of CEO Eelco Spoelder, Autoneum opened its new production facility in Pune in western India at the end of August. It is the supplier's third plant in the country. According to the press release, it is intended to contribute to future profitable growth; the focus is on the Asian growth markets. Series production of carpet systems, interior trims, wheel arch linings, e-engine encapsulations and other noise protection components for local and international vehicle manufacturers has already begun.

The plant in Pune in the western Indian state of Maharashtra is wholly owned by Autoneum and complements the existing production facility in Behror near New Delhi in the north and the joint venture plant in Chennai in the south of the country. The building covers an area of 7,500 square meters.

The plant will supply local and international OEMs with noise-reducing lightweight components for the interior and exterior of vehicles of all drive types—so-called hybrid acoustics PET felts for the encapsulation of electric motors can also be produced there. According to the press release, these components are made entirely from PET, which is largely obtained from recycled fibers, and thus meet customer requirements for environmentally friendly mobility solutions.

Plant in China to start at the end of 2024

As announced, Pune is one of two plants that Autoneum is opening this year in the Asian growth markets of China and India. The new joint venture plant in Changchun in the northern Chinese province of Jilin is set to ramp up production of bulkhead insulation and insulation for vehicle interiors as well as other NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) components for European, Japanese and Chinese car manufacturers from the end of 2024.
